23 Mansfield 44 -17 42
24 Wrexham 44 -32 37

Because Dag & Red play Mansfield on the last match day Wrexham is already relegated. For Notts it works this way:

Scenario #1: Mansfield wins both remaining games to finish at 48 points. Dag & Red could do no better than 46, leaving Notts two points from safety.

Scenario #2: Dag & Red wins both of its games to finish at 49 points. Mansfield could do no better than 45, leaving Notts one or two points from safety, depending upon goal differential.

Scenario #3: Dag & Red and Mansfield both end with a win and a draw ending the season at 47 and 46 points respectively, leaving Notts two or three points from safety, depending again upon goal differential.

Scenario #4: Dag & Red and Mansfield each end the season with two draws, leaving Notts needing one point for safety.

Any other results and Notts is already safe.
